Lovely cottage. Feels nicely secluded yet close to local facilities. Garden secure for dogs. Enjoyed local walks without having to drive anywhere. If you cannot live without TV or phone then not the cottage for you. Could easily get signal at back door. We took laptop and DVDs. Shower great. Bed comfortable. Hopefully will return.
